Chapter 200: Saving the Scene
The night was long and the fire was fierce.
The wind blows the veins of bamboo leaves and ignites the fire, and in the dark night, the fire is fierce like a fire dragon, engulfing the number of seats in the general's mansion in half of the land, and there is a tendency to become more and more intense. The firelight burned half of the dark night, accompanied by the cries of men, women and children, completely waking up the entire Yangzhou, which was still resting.
The Imperial Guards didn't care about the defense early on, and hurriedly followed up to put out the fire.
The servants were all in disarray, and they were covered with black smoke stains.
"Kill them! Kill them! β
"Kill!!"
The panicked slaves were escorted around by the guards, and some tripped and fell to the ground screaming. The noise erupted as the house was engulfed in fire in the General's Mansion. Agarwood escorted Gu Mingxiu to retreat, staring at those who stepped forward vigilantly. Although Mo Zhu and Miao Lan were scared in their hearts, they were protecting Gu Mingxiu's side alone, and their faces were nervous.
Gu Liyi grabbed Gu Mingxiu's hand, with a hint of nervousness on her face: "Sister embroidery......."
"Don't be afraid, girl, Lingqiao protects you!" Seeing that Gu Liyi's tone was a little nervous, Ling Qian thought she was afraid, so she hurriedly stepped forward to stop in front of Gu Liyi, but her tone was also a little choked.
An Ting stood behind An Li with a sword, glared at his eyes and replied: "Okay, okay, it's easy for you to scare your little cousin and Xiu'er like this." There are so many generals in our General's Mansion, where is it so easy for a few of you maids to die? Stay away, and don't hurt you! β
After that, An Ting lifted his sword and sneered: "I just don't believe it, how powerful are these people, they dare to look down on the people of my general's mansion like this, see if I don't teach them a lesson!" β
As soon as she finished speaking, she was about to rush out with her sword, but she was grabbed back by Xu's shoulder just after she ran out of the way. Xu Shi's face sank rarely, and his tone was a little anxious: "What's the matter with you!" Hurry up and escort your cousin away, don't waste time hereβ"
"Butβ"
Before An Ting could finish speaking, a man in black with a sword rushed in front of him. Ling Qian exclaimed, and An Ling ran over and separated the man in black with a sword. The young man who has always been hippie and smiling lowered his eyebrows and said sharply: "Where is the time for you to play with your temperament now?" Hurry up! β
After that, An Ling ignored her and turned around and ran into the fire again.
An Ting stomped his feet, glanced at An Li, and then at Xu's family, stomped his feet again viciously, turned his head and pulled Gu Liyi to run towards the moon gate: "Go!" Little cousin, follow me! β
"Mother-" Gu Li was caught off guard by An Ting and ran away, looking back in a panic to find An Li. But An Ting had already grabbed her and left the Moon Gate, and the guards behind her blocked the Moon Gate, and they couldn't see the scene inside. Ling Qiao followed Gu Liyi tightly and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" β
"But, but mother-in-the-otherβ"
Gu Liyi didn't finish his words, An Ting in front of him suddenly stopped his steps, pushed Gu Liyi to the side, and separated the black-clothed man who rushed over with a sword, and dodged to the side neatly. Gu Liyi and the others were pushed to the side, and they crashed under the porch, and An Ting stood in front of them.
The girl with calm eyebrows and eyes held a long sword in her hand, staring closely at the black-clothed man who slowly surrounded her in front of her: "Who sent you?!" β
"There are a lot of grievances in the General's Mansion, don't you even know who your enemy is?" The man in black sneered, slowly raised his long sword, and said coldly, "When General An and your family are reunited, why don't you think about this problem slowly-kill me!" β
With his last words, all the black-clothed people around him pounced.
Ling Qian screamed, and subconsciously rushed to the side, hugging Gu Liyi tightly in an attempt to protect Gu Liyi with his body. An Ting couldn't look back, and before she could move forward, she was separated by two men in black, and she shouted in fear: "Little cousin!" β
The next moment, a stone suddenly flew and shattered the sword of the man in black. The black-clothed agarwood rushed out of the darkness and surrounded all the black-clothed people with many royal forest troops. She fell between An Ting and Gu Liyi, pulled Gu Liyi up, and said in a low voice, "The girl told me to protect Miss." β
"Where did Sister Xiu go?" Gu Liyi hugged the trembling Ling Qiao and asked with wide eyes.
"The girl was taken to safety."
"Go this wayβ"
Pulling Gu Mingxiu to run on the trail in a hurry, Miao Lan led the way while looking back. She frowned slightly, and there was a bit of nervousness in her tone: "The girl will come with me, and she will be safe soon!" β
Mo Zhu helped Gu Mingxiu to walk forward in a hurry, and several guards followed behind them, holding long swords in their hands and constantly looking around. When she ran all the way to the open space of the hut near the back door of the alley, Mu Lan slowly stopped, stood in place and silently let go of Gu Mingxiu's hand.
Mo Zhu looked around and looked at her with some uneasiness: "Mu Lan.... What did you bring us here for? β
"To get you on your way, of course." With a gloomy voice, the person standing with his hands in his hands slowly walked out from behind the bamboo forest. Behind him, someone lit up the entire courtyard with torches, and the neat black-clothed people rushed out from behind with long swords in their hands, surrounding Gu Mingxiu and the others in the middle.
Seeing the visitor, Mu Langden was surprised, and subconsciously looked at Gu Mingxiu: "Butler!" It turned out to be really the butler of the General's Mansion! Girl, youβYou're right! β
Hearing Mu Lan's words, the housekeeper frowned and glanced at Gu Mingxiu, then at Mu Lan, and then understood. A little gloom flashed in his eyes, and he slowly spoke, "I see..... It turned out that the girl had already seen through it. No wonder I'm not surprised..... So you guys are making a show for me! β
Mu Lan was taken aback by his tone, and subconsciously dodged to Mo Zhu's side, and said unconvinced: "Then aren't you also making a show for us!" And now he wants to kill us! β
Gu Mingxiu stared at him quietly, not at all frightened by the surrounding momentum: "You are Shen Yang's person." She curled the corners of her lips and said casually, "But now, you are Song Xuan's person." β
Her tone was too firm and calm, and the face of the person opposite changed when she taught her.
The housekeeper glared at her with a gloomy face, and slowly spoke: "I know that the girl has always been smart.... But I don't know, where did you find out about this? β
"Shen Yang arranged you into the General's Mansion early, but it's hard for him to be careful, it's just a pity..... You were bought by Song Xuan. Gu Mingxiu looked at him with a smile, his tone was a little cold, with a hint of mockery, "I'm afraid that any 'incriminating evidence' presented by Song Xuan should have been arranged by you." After all.... You have been in the General's Mansion for so long, how can your grandfather doubt you? β
She smoothed her clothes and said nonchalantly, "I just don't know.... Does Shen Yang know that you have two hearts? β
"That's not what a girl should be concerned about." The butler's tone was suppressed with a bit of anger and murderous intent, he stared at Gu Mingxiu coldly, and said slowly, "After all, General An can't come back, and the girl has no chance to tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about it." Your life is still in my hands, how dare you threaten me? Oh, do it! β
"Except for the leader, the rest are not left."
Accompanied by the sound of the butler speaking, a faint, careless and contemptuous voice sounded in the air at the same time. As that voice sounded, the killing intent in the surrounding air gradually became thicker, and with a bit of pressing pressure, it rushed towards everyone in the hall.
The butler raised his head suddenly, but saw that the surroundings had been surrounded by a group of Xuanyi people at some point, and the cold blade was facing them. In the middle hall of the eaves, a person stood lazily on the eaves, playing with the dagger in his hand, and gave an order lightly: "Did you hear that?" Do it. β
With an order, the prostrate Xuanyi people around quickly poured down, surrounding the original black-clothed people.
Mo Zhu and Mu Lan were so frightened that their faces turned pale, but they didn't say a word. They looked up at Gu Mingxiu, but saw that the girl in purple didn't care about the slaughter around her at all, she just looked up at the people on the eaves, with a little color in her eyes that they couldn't understand: "You came a little late." β
"Pick up, it's late." Shen Huai answered her simply, and shook it slowly. Leaning over to look at Gu Mingxiu's calm eyes, Shen Huai's eyes flashed with a smile, "It's too noisy here, I'll take you to see other scenery." β
After that, without waiting for Gu Mingxiu to agree, he lazily reached out and grabbed her waist, flew to the eaves very easily, and then quickly turned around and disappeared. Mo Zhu and Mu Lan were dumbfounded, standing in the middle of a group of black-clothed people who were fighting, at a loss.
A girl in black landed in front of them and sighed, "Oh, there are still two people left." She smiled and beckoned, "Hey! Luo Feng, calm down! β
"It's coming, it's coming." There was a few bits of blood splashed on his body, Luo Feng heard the words and hurriedly rushed over with his sword, and the person with blood on his face touched his head worriedly, and showed a slightly silly smile at them, "But we were negligent, two girls come with me!" β
"But, but our girl, sheβ" Mozhu's face turned pale, but he remained calm. She grabbed Mu Lan's hand and smiled reluctantly at Luo Feng, a little anxious.
Luo Feng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hey, it's okay, it's okay, our master just took Miss Gu out to play for a while, it's not a big deal!" Come on, come on, girl, come with me, and I'll take you to Miss Liyi. He added, "Miss Liyi is with Agarwood, and there is nothing to do." β
"Wait for the master to wait for the girl to come back, maybe you can expect unexpected surprises." Luo Feng stabbed to death a man in black who pounced on him with his sword, and turned his head to show a rather smug smile at the two.
The two of them don't know why.
